For the love of letters… Experience has told Jenna Oakhurst that Happy Ever After may happen in all the best stories, but Happy For Now is the best one ought to expect in real life. Yet lately even that isn’t quite enough, so when a strange set of circumstances leads her to discover a mysterious letter in an abandoned storage unit, she takes the chance to embark on a journey into the unknown…just like the heroines from the storybooks. Reaching out to the letter’s author, Henry Somners, changes Jenna’s world irrevocably and she starts to realise that the magic she believed in as a child might not be such a fanciful notion after all… ‘An original idea, well written and extremely entertaining. I very much enjoyed this book’ Sunday Times bestseller Katie Fforde Readers love Linda Corbett: ‘A gorgeous, happy read that fills you with joy’ Sue ‘Jenna reminded me a little bit of Eleanor Oliphant, who I just absolutely adore…I laughed and swooned and just felt so happy’ Michelle ‘Absolutely delightful romantic comedy…It will leave you feeling all warm and tingly’ Sarah ‘Perfect for summer reading poolside or on vacation… I also appreciated that Jenna had a mobility impairment that was incorporated into the story without being the focus of it, something that I have not seen very often in this genre before. The representation is important and it was beautifully handled’ Anette ‘I loved the characters, the style of writing, and liked this life affirming and sweet story’ Anna ‘Just made me feel happy, put a smile on my face and I breezed through quickly’ Megan ‘I love that this story has disability representation, a lesbian couple, and a Guinea pig rescue!!!!!!…If you’re looking for a non-traditional love story, consider picking this one up!!!’ Tammy ‘One of those novels that reads like a Hallmark movie. Feel-good, fun and flirty. A quick read with a highly satisfying ending’ Chantelle
It's a truth often acknowledged that when a Jane Austen fan girl ends up living next door to a cynical but handsome crime writer, romantic sparks will fly! When Maddy Shaw is told her Dear Jane column has been cancelled she has no choice but to look outside of London’s rental market. That is until she’s left an idyllic country home by the black sheep of the family, long-not-so-lost Cousin Nigel. But of course there’s a stipulation… and not only is Maddy made chair of the committee for the annual village literary festival, she also has to put up with bestselling crime author –and romance sceptic – Cameron Massey as her new neighbour. When Maddy challenges Cameron to write romantic fiction, which he claims is so easy to do, sparks fly both on and off the page… ‘Sparkling romance, secrets from the past…Witty and romantic, I couldn’t stop myself from turning the pages’ Alison Sherlock, bestselling author of The Village of Lost and Found ‘Witty, sharp and beautifully observed – I feel sure Jane would approve’ Julie Caplin Readers are LOVING What Would Jane Austen Do?: ‘I absolutely demolished this book! … If you love romance you’ll love this (whether you’re an Austen aficionado or not)!’ ???? ‘A perfect read for a day you need a pick me up’ ????? ‘Fans of Jane Austen, or of reading in general, will particularly enjoy this book…sure to be a favourite of many readers this year’ ????? ‘Playful, fun, and a love letter to Jane Austen and her wise words.
